My new son has been in intensive care since he was born on Thursday. He had some kind of infection and could hardly breathe. He is now off the ventilator and they are thinking of feeding him for the first time today. He was very sick at birth and it was touch and go for a while but the Consultant thinks he should be fine from here on in and get a bit stronger every day.

He is breathing on his own now with just a little help with oxygen.

I did get some nice presents but the only present I am looking forward to today is going up to the ICU in Belfast to see him

His name is Daniel, like in the lions den and all that stuff as he is a little fighter.
